I had the opportunity to take the ITIL 4 Foundations course through Sprintzeal and it was a great experience. My instructor was Courtney, and I feel she prepared me to take and pass the exam on my first attempt. Courtney is very knowledgeable, and her instruction method was conducive for a positive learning environment. I will request her in the future as I plan to expand on my knowledge in ITIL. Alex was vital in my successful enrollment and always a trusted agent to aid in my self development plan. Sprintzeal is a great organization to aid in your ability to better yourself through expert instruction.

The CISSP training went well. We were able to joint the sessions on time. Trainer (Munaavar) is interactive person, so he gave examples to explain each and every concept. The training was on schedule related to the topics within CISSP. I liked the way he started the training by giving time to talk about the participants background. Totally, the training went well. I would rate with 4 stars.

The trainer did well covering a wide range of topics in 4 days, although I would have liked some more real-life representations of what was being shown.Perhaps VMs, or examples of how viruses work in a real-to-life environment.Aside from that, I thought the course was very informative and helped build a framework for an understanding of Security+. We were also provided 12 hours of CompTIA labs that I think will be a HUGE help.

I found that the course has been comprehensive with a lot of reference material available for personal study outside of the class content. Obviously there is a lot to learn moving forward and its great to know that we are provided with on going support up until we sit the exam.

Liked the AWS training course that I took at Sprintzeal. The content was good and the trainer took time to go back and answer any questions. The slides depicted the concept on each topic well. I recommend this course for quick grasp.

I took the certification program CompTIA security+. I really enjoyed the course. The facilitator was very knowledgeable and thoughtful in explaining concepts. I do wish there were more live sessions. I don't think 8 is enough to fully prepare for the CompTia test.

I found my instructor and the coordinator Alex Wood very easy to work with. They were VERY accommodating to my schedule, and I was very happy with the training, the presentation of the material and the quizzes that the instructor walked the class through at the end of each Chapter. I will take another class from them again.

Overall an excellent training opportunity. Dani is not only well versed in teaching from the PMBOK but more importantly, he has real-world experience which aided my understanding of the presented material. As a newcomer in project management, Dani was able to communicate in a manner in which I could easily understand the subject matter without diminishing the rest of the students learning opportunities. The only area that I asses that needs adjustment is that the slide used to conduct the class are not available for student download. It would be helpful if the course material was made available in order to better prepare for the exam.
